Burt Bacharach, the debonair pop composer, arranger, conductor, record producer and occasional singer whose hit songs in the 1960s distilled that decade’s mood of romantic optimism, died on Wednesday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 94.
His publicist Tina Brausam confirmed the death. No specific cause was given.
RIP Burt Bacharach

RIP Burt Bacharach
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Re: RIP Burt Bacharach
I loved his songs. Many of them, I didn't even know they were his until much later. He was a giant . . .
